- He Used to Play Pool.


 He was tall, raw-boned and ungainly, with his angularity ill concealed by a buffalo overcoat, the whole crowned by a wide, well-tanned sombrero.
 He strolled into a popular billiard hall on Madison street and S the dude pool-players all agape and all a-t;tter by his crude remarks on the game. Mind givin' me a stick, young fel- lers?" he finally asked.
 The swells winked at each other and the whisper went around, !" Here's a sucker"
 The old rancher remarked: " Used to play G purty fair game bout twenty years ago deown in Rancher's run, in Kansas. I'm from that doggasted coun- try, ycow know"
 The balls were spotted and the wild specimen of pool amateur came last. The four fine players" took their turns with tho result of getting two balls.
 No 5!'' said the table-keeper and the blizzard-blown rancher took of his buffalo envelope and prepared for a shot He seized his cue as if it was @ pitchfork and hustled the first ball in the corner pocket. He strode around the table like an Indian brave, making all sorts of banks and cushions and fire shots.
 He finally stopped when all the balls were down and said:
 "Purty good game. Play 'nuther?" The boys wilted and one by ono slunk out.
 When they had all gone out the wild Western player said:
 Guess they thought they'd got on old scrub farmer. but it's no snap 10 do up a Kansas cowboy. Used to play a tolable game long bout twenty years ago down to hum"

Historic Dogs.


 Every one remembers the dog of Ulysses, who died in greeting his mas ter just returned from his long wander ings. and the story shows the consider stion in which the dog was held in the heroic ages of Greece.
 The old Persians. too, held the dog in high esteem {; to the MSgians he was a sacred animal, the representative and friend of OrmuZd, the Beneficent, and the great satraps were distinguished by their trains of hunting dogs, as was the King himself, and XerxeS set out for the conquest of Greece surrounded by great body guard of faithful dogs.
 Those most highly prized by tho Per slams came from India, so called, prob ably from the Bactrian regions, where the dog Is still held in high repute.
 Captain Woods tells us that the old fashioned Uzbeg would think it no insult to be asked to sell his wife. but would resent an offer for his dog as an un- pardonable affront; while among the bordor tribes of Turkestan the epithet of tho dog seller Is one of the profound est contempt.
 Indeed. the birthplace of nations is probably the original home of the dog, and when our Aryan ancestors began to migrate westward from their ancient seats with their flocks and herds they brought with them, no doubt, their fierce and faithful dogs. who have left their descendants of to-day-the English pastiff, the Pyrenean sheep dog, the Albanian wolfhound,
 Ancient laws. too, record the estl- nation In which the dog was held. "A herl dog that goes for the sheep in the morning and follows them home at night is worth the best ox," says the ancient laws of Wales.
 The best herd dogs of the present day pernaps are the Breton sheep dogs rough, shaggy. uncouth-with an aspect as if they had a little of the blood of Bruin in their veins, but highly valued by their possessors, who are not to be tempted into parting with them by any thing under the price of the best OK; and the Breton dog is one of the most sagacious of his kind. watching and tending his fiocks with an almost incredible zeal and devotion.-IA IAll the Year Round.

JUNEAU.

Contrary to general expectation the
Sass trial resulted in a verdict of guilty
of murder in the first degree. A motion
for new trial has, however, been enter
ed and will be argued oa Saturday next.
It is reported that the anti-Bragg faction
in Fond du Lac took occasion during the
trial to show their spite against District
Attorney Gardner aud die all in it's power
to assist the defendants attorney in &C
quitting the criminal. The cause for the
verdict is generally ascribed to the fact
that the defendant himself was placed on
the stand and told bis improbable story
so glibly that the jury did not believe a
word of it.

Chicago Evening journal.

The past year has been one of unprece-
denied success for The Chicago Evening
Journal, in all its several daily editions
agd it's weekly.
THE PRESIDENTIAL YEAR
is at hand-a year of political interest
and popular excitement. As usual, though
aiming to be a general newspaper rather
than party organ, The Journal will ad-
vocate Republican principles and the
election OF Republican candidates. 1t
sees no reason for changing its devotion
to the party which it helped to create
and to. build up. 1t will be as muck the
party of patriotism, progress and liberty
in 1888 as it was in 1860 and through the
eventful period when the Nation was in
peril, and when Slavery was wiped out
and the Union reconstructed upon solid
basis of universal freedom and assured
permanence. 1t is the party of popular
hope and faith for the future, as itt has
been the party of magnificent achieve
ments in the past. The Journal, while
guided by motives of conservative patriot
ism, having ever in view the best interests
of great, free and a progressive peo-
pie, will be candid, fearless and emphatic
in its advocacy of the success of the party
of its choice.
The following are the subscription rates
of The Journal by mail Tin advance),
